3. A mass m is placed next to (not attached to) a spring of spring constant k on a horizontal surface, as shown. The mass is pushed a distance x to the left, compressing the spring, and released from rest. There is no friction while the mass is in contact with the spring, but after that there is a coefficient of friction , slowing the mass to a stop over a distance D. Express all answers in terms of m, k, and x, k, and g. a. Find the speed of the mass when it leaves the spring. b. Find the distance D. Vibdlert c. The procedure is now repeated, but with the spring compressed twice as far. When the mass leaves the spring, will it be moving twice as fast, more than twice as fast, or less than twice as fast? Justify your answer. i. ii. Will the distance D be twice as far, more than twice as far, or less than twice as far? Justify your answer. -No friction -D-- 3.
